Nocturnal acid accumulation, water content, osmotic pressure (π), and nonstructural
carbohydrates were determined in the chlorenchyma and the water‐storage parenchyma of …

Under well-watered conditions, chlorenchyma acidity in cladodes of Opuntia ficus-indica
increased substantially at night, fully accounting for the 0.26-megapascal nocturnal increase …

Water relations of the photosynthetic tissue (chlorenchyma) and of the water-storage
parenchyma were studied for well watered and droughted Opuntia ficus-indica, a …

Opuntia ficus-indica, a Crassulacean acid metabolism plant cultivated for its fruits and
cladodes, was used to examine chemical and physiological events accompanying low …

Water flow and water storage were investigated for Agave deserti, a desert succulent
showing crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The anatomy and water relations of the …

The response of grapevine plants to severe water deficit (predawn leaf water potential of-
1.13 MPa), imposed at a rate of about 0.16 MPa day-1 was studied in terms of leaf water …

A study was made of the effects of salinity on the concentrations of free sugars,
glycinebetaine, proline and other chemical components of Aster tripolium L., Daucus carota …

In this review, information relating to the ecophysiological response of Opuntia robusta
plants in wild populations and cultivated plants of O. ficus–indica under various …

Soluble sugars and dominant anions and cations were measured in turgescent and air-dry
leaves of desiccation-tolerant South African grasses. The species investigated can lose up …

Background and Aims Hylocereus undatus, a hemiepiphytic cactus cultivated in 20 countries
for its fruit, has fleshy stems whose water storage is crucial for surviving drought. Inter-tissue …
